Ladies: Don't Fall For It

Gallup released a poll today showing a growing gender gap between President Obama and GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney in 12 key swing states. Obama is now leading Romney among women by statistically significant percentages in many of those states.

This is a major shift from the 2010 elections, in which Republicans won a majority of women. During that election cycle, women were turned off to Obama and the Democrats by the horrendous economy, sky-high unemployment, the revolting government overreach into health care, and the hydra-headed abuses of power carried out routinely by the Obama administration.

So, what changed? What accounts for the shift among women (at least in this particular poll)?

Team Obama knew that they couldn't win this year unless they got women to return to the Democrat fold. So they decided to whip up a phony, fraudulent "Republican war on women." It began with Team O ramming the HHS mandate down the throats of religious institutions, requiring them to violate their most deeply held beliefs by forcing them to provide insurance covering birth control, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs. A complete violation and assault on religious freedom. The Catholic church and other religious leaders denounced it. Team O then announced an "accommodation," which was nothing more than smoke and mirrors to make them look "reasonable."

Then came Sandra Fluke and the orchestrated "war on women." Like Occupy Wall Street, the Fluke circus and the bogus "war on women" were manufactured out of thin air by the Left to drive a wedge among women and get them to "come home" to the Democrats.

It's apparently working, if this Gallup poll is to be believed.

Ladies: DO NOT FALL FOR THIS MANIPULATION. Nothing else has changed since 2010! All of the things that drove you to vote against Obama and the Democrats still exist: the economy stinks, unemployment is high, ObamaCare is so constitutionally insane that the Supreme Court must decide it, and Team Obama's abuses of power continue apace.

The only thing that's changed is their efficiency in MANIPULATING YOU! Don't fall for it. Don't be one of their "useful idiots." Wake up, before they seize ever more power and more and more of your freedoms. And then, there will be a REAL war...on ALL of us.

Women dislike uncertainty - foreign policy, over Social Security, health care, wage deflation, employment, etc. It is not free contraceptives that is bringing them in- it is encumbancy - something familiar.

A definite plan- with projections that sounds realistic will help this. Or, a $200 stimulus check to offset food prices.

But, the war on women is being done by the GOP. over
916 anti-women's rights bills in 4 months.
And, coulter wanting to take away women's voting rights!

Ever stop to think that's why women are going more for Obama?

While the GOP spends all its energy protecting the tax rate of the 1%, the Dems are slaughtering them in the women's voting bloc.
Remember, Dems have voting BLOCS; the GOP has classes of individuals; which they are alienating as fast as they can.
Obama will destroy Romney; the big, rich, powerful CEO whose wife has two Cadillacs, hates immigrants, wants a bigger military, and he thinks it's fun to fire people. His net worth makes him definitely not one of the middle class. His mantra is old now: "I have 25 years business experience, blah, blah." Maybe so, but Obama has a serious Chicago political machine.
Romney -who voted FOR gay marriage and pro-abortion rights while Governor- is not even faithful ro the LDS Church, which is 180 degrees away from him on these issues.
Obama (says) he wants cuts on the "rich" and most people agree. The GOP wants to cut "Entitlements" meaning every government service OTHER than those affecting the rich. Which looks better? Remember, Perception is Reality.
The GOP is against birth control and abortion; but is also against welfare for those unwanted children, health care for them, and food stamps. Meanwhile, if their single parent loses their job, they are against unemployment. What's not to like about voting for a Republican?

Excellent point, LR. Although I admit that there are those that are taking full advantage of the system and do not deserve these social benefits, the real welfare is being handed out to the rich.

This afternoon, right-wing radio host Rush Limabugh said that the tragic death of Trayvon Martin — which has outraged millions inside and outside of the African-American community — is “doing more harm to the black community than anything else.” Ignoring the tens of thousands of people who have engaged in non-violent protests throughout the country, Limbaugh said nothing in the response to Martin’s death has been “uplifting” or “admirable.”

Limbaugh also alleged that media coverage of the case was a conspiracy between Obama, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to ensure Obama’s relection.

Limbaugh argued that the case received scant media attention for the first several weeks because the media needed to focus on attacking him and the Republican “war on women.” Actually, media attention increased when the police finally released 911 tapes that revealed Zimmerman had pursued Trayvon Martin.

________________________________-

OUT OF CONTEXT AS USUAL.. I was listening to the show and he was talking to a listener about how NBC EDITED the audiotape to make Hernandez look like a racist and how ABC just released a forsenic video of the police tape that shows the gashes on the back of Hernandez's head.

The caller said that the black community was upset because no one every discusses black murderers and that Martin was missing for 3 days before he was found in the morgue. Limbaugh emphathized and said that was inexcusable. The caller asked why it was reported and Limbaugh pointed out that the media has an agenda and it was concentrating on the war on women and attacking him.

IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD, INTERNAL PROBE OF THE LIARS AT NBC:

"The edited call, which aired on NBC's "Today Show" on March 27, featured Zimmerman talking to a 911 dispatcher.

“This guy looks like he's up to no good … he looks black,” Zimmerman said in the edited segment.

That, it turns out, appears to be only part of the exchange. The complete exchange went like this:

Zimmerman: "This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about."

Dispatcher: "OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?"

Zimmerman: "He looks black."

Brent Bozell, president of the conservative Media Research Center, called this mistake worse than a distortion or a misrepresentation and "an all-out falsehood.." He made the comment on the March 29 edition of the Fox News show "Hannity."

“When you hear him say, ‘he looks black,' anyone watching that believes that there are racial overtones to what this man did,” Bozell says. “How could you not believe that? It goes with the narrative of the profiling. The only problem is, they edited out the dispatcher asking him, ‘what does he look like?'”

"The only thing that's changed is their efficiency in MANIPULATING YOU! Don't fall for it. Don't be one of their "useful idiots." Wake up, before they seize ever more power and more and more of your freedoms. And then, there will be a REAL war...on ALL of us." - Monica Crowley

And with this, Monica Crowley announces her party change to Democrat.

Because this bit of 180 degree projection is so insane, it would have had to have been typed from an asylum if it meant anything BUT.

Ms Crolwey!! Welcome aboard the fight against the NaziGOP right wing's ASSAULT on women, women's healthcare, womens' rights, the pill, ALL pills, womens' birth control, and most importantly, WOMENS' RIGHT TO REFUSE TO BE FORCED BREEDER STOCK FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PRODUCTION OF DESTITUTE CANNON FODDER FOR THE RIGHTWING'S ENDLESS WARS.

To even think, for a single second, that you could turn this around, that the GOP came to YOU to turn it around because you are one of their ONLY women, is so far BEYOND insane that would be hysterical to anyone who didn't give a da*mn about you personally and professionally.

DICK NIXON is on his knees crying to God over THIS one.

And the actual temerity that you could think you could do so, or would even try, without the end result being the laughing stock of the media world (and don't underestimate, with this post you've achieved that), is pretty appalling.

Like watching a very tiny someone flip off God as they were encircling the toilet drain faster and faster, thinking it would bring them a much-needed rescue.

I'll say this. You're either fatally desperate, or your moxie overcame your common sense this time, OR you are, and have always been, false opposition.

I, respectfully, have always prayed for the latter.

If that's the case, you've succeeded with flying colors. The entire right looks utterly and quite desperately and terminally insane.

"Save" women from the left by turning the clock back at least a hundred years.

"Liberal women are... They are going to have a RUDE awakening if the Communist is re-elected." - M/M

Your incessant idiotic paranoia is an affront to God Almighty and even more to Jesus Christ.

There is NO GOD IN YOUR LIFE. It is obvious. Because everyone is out to get you, and your god has no power to protect you from it whatsoever.

You god is so powerless that you and yours have to do everything for him.

And that you do quite well, because your god is indubitably Satan himself.

Adam and Eve didn't hand the keys of the planet over to Satan; they merely decided that God wasn't powerful enough to beat him.

And in their paranoia and disbelief in THE GOD ALMIGHTY who created them, they and their descendants end up DOING ALL OF SATAN'S WORK FOR HIM.

He doesn't have to lift a finger. Disbelief that GOD ALMIGHTY IS IN CONTROL OF ALL CIRCUMSTANCES does all of Satan's work for him by fostering racism, white supremacy, intolerance against all who are remotely perceived as being "different", endless war, the desire for totalitarian control of everyone else on the planet in some sort of truly sickening antiChristian theocracy that does ALL OF GODS' WORK FOR HIM.

You had better wake up, and wake up fast, Sister.

MY GOD OVERCAME SATAN. And does so in my life every single day. And I don't need a shred of political power or wealth to attain political power as a result.

All I need to do is do as He did, and cry the TRUTH loud and long.

To drown out you liars, Pharisees, hypocrites, and paranoid militant christianists who have NO god but Satan.

Good Lord, the Jews who went to their deaths peacefully in the Nazi death camps had more faith in God Almighty than you and yours do. They KNEW that if God didn't stop it, He would make it up to them.

And that He did.

And that faith came NOT BY BELIEVING IN CHRIST'S RESURRECTION.

Their faith was BLIND.

How they shame you and yours today who have to control EVERYONE and EVERYTHING for your puny weak temporary "god".

AS IF God Almighty gives a single shred of concern whatsoever for human politics... did He not tell you Himself when He ran from you and yours the FIRST TIME around when you tried to force your puny crowns on Him "MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD."

"On voter registration forms, George Zimmerman identified himself as Hispanic, as did his mother. His father, Robert, listed himself as white on voter registration forms. Zimmerman's mother, Gladys, is originally from Peru."

Conservatives say that Zimmerman isn't white, because of his mother's side.

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder Now Has the Power to Suspend the Rights of the People

For the backstory, read here and here.

Michigan is in deep trouble. What makes me really angry is that people voted for this TrojanCorporateBastard, even though he told them that he would “run the state as a business”. What did they think that would look like? (in the next week or so, I’ll be doing a piece on Snyder’s campaign, including the financing-stay tuned) And, more critical now, why weren’t we paying attention?

PoliticusUSA has a piece on the implications for Michiganders [which includes moi]. Scary stuff.

While we were venting our outrage at shenanigans in Wisconsin politics, in fact while Republicans were planning last night’s attempted coup, the Michigan state legislature quietly passed a bill giving the Governor of Michigan martial control over the state. Except instead of using actual military, the Governor is more likely to use private security. But make no mistake–rights would be suspended."

Michigan's new governor, Rick Snyder, is setting himself up with some radical new powers.

A new bill in Michigan, HB-4214, would not only allow the Governor to wipe out unions, it would also give him the power to eliminate any municipal government in an area he decides is in "financial stress" -- without input from voters. This means that any elected official could be fired by the Governor and replaced with an "Emergency Manager". Emergency Managers can be anyone the governor chooses, even someone with obvious corporate ties.

Democracy is about the right of the American public to choose its leaders, but Snyder's bill takes that right away from the people of Michigan.

the real welfare is being handed out to the rich.

Sorry you see it that way. But there is a war not just on women but on the poor and the middle class.

santorum said that the 8 largest California Universities DO NOT teach American History!
Bring back those courses to California!
Bring back sanity to the GOP party!

LOL

Those universities are firmly in LIEberal hands, boy.

Why don't you prove the link you insinuate that the non-teaching of American History has to the GOP.

More importantly, Monica, women don't matter. Remember as Rush Limbaugh pointed out only white men signed the Declaration and Constitution so he is sick and tired of hearing about rights and justice for anyone else. The manipulations various states are doing in reforming voter IDs will disenfranchise not only the old, young and blacks, but women. So women's vote won't matter in states setting up to assure Republican victory.
